MARYSVILLE, Ohio — A 33-year-old Union County man is in jail today, accused in a case of “
sexting” with a local teenager.

Harry J. Wood, 33, of Marysville, was arrested Sunday. He is charged with four counts of
unlawful sexual conduct with a minor; one count of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented
material; and one count of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. All are felony charges.

Capt. Jeff Frisch, of the Union County sheriff’s office, said the 15-year-old girl’s mother
found the texted images on her daughter’s phone and immediately called authorities.

Frisch said detectives are still sorting out several stories as to how Wood and the girl met.
He said it appears the relationship had been ongoing for a month or two.

As part of the case, detectives seized several cell phones and two computers.

Wood is being held at the Tri-County Regional Jail. Bond was set at $50,000.
